Salut coquettes, long live the queen! A mighty expression, indeed – although you probably won’t hear it too often on this side of the pond. Yes, we do speak the same lingo, but it’s pretty obvious there’s quite the difference between British English and our very own Americana. It’s something along the lines of I say tomato, you say tom-AH-to. Yet there’s more to it than their make-anything-sound-cool accent. Even the word bollocks sounds proper with an English intonation! As the hype builds around the Summer Olympics, let’s have a look at the bon mots and lovely London specialties that may soon be shared allover the world. Cheers!

In Great Britain they go to the loo. They also say toilet a lot more than we do here in the States.

While we drink coffee all the time, tea time is a must for most UK citizens. There’s often a biscuit included which is actually a cookie to us.

What we call an ass, they call an arse. It could be used to describe the body part, but more likely to speak of somebody who is simply acting like a donkey. You could also call him a wanker if he’s really being a jerk.

Salut sweet coquettes, it's no secret that we love ourselves a good rack! Boobs, tits, ta-tas - call them whatever you like - when a woman accessorizes her assets with sensuous décolletage it lets the world know she owns her sexuality. No longer limited to eveningwear, showing cleavage is on the up and up for all times of day! A true coquette reveals more through the simple cleft between her breasts than just a push-up bra and plunging neckline (although there’s nothing wrong with those!) She’s confident. She’s provocative. She’s having a good time! Determining how much cleavage is right for you depends on personal style. You choose what's appropriate. We say live a little, coquettes - it doesn't matter if it's night or day, let the girls come out to play!

Exhibiting cleavage is one of the ultimate ways to seduce. When done right, it’s extremely tasteful and elegant. In aristocratic times, it was a symbol of beauty and wealth.

Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot were among the first starlets to turn an ample bosom into the trend du jour.

Sophia Loren was also one who showed cleavage with class.

Christina Hendricks’s voluptuous figure falls right in line with the women of yesteryear. We love how the siren flaunts with a flattering appeal.

Obviously, if you’re well endowed it’s going to be a lot easier to achieve the desired décolleté. Just make sure everything is tucked in nice and neat. A nip-slip is cleavage gone wrong.

Everyone seems to be talking about the bodacious bod of Kate Upton. This month, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model elevates her cleavage for Vogue Spain.

Emma Thompson usually gets our attention for her superb acting. Notice the drama in crossing her arms - it directs our attention to all the right places!

Natalie Portman is also on the A team. Although we haven’t glanced her bosom after the birth of her baby. Pregnancy is an excellent way to give your boobs a boost to gorgeous cleavage.

If you're a size A or B, try a demi cup plunge bra with crescent shape padding. Lise Charmel’s Dolce Desirwill add momentum, and get the girls up front and center. That's right petites coquettes, we're gonna fake it till we make it!

Bonjour coquettes, it's the age of transparency! Businesses need to back their brand with authenticity which is no problem for LPC -- pas du tout! We’re a no BS boutique that’s got your breast interests at heart. We’re telling it like it is so you can look and feel top notch. If you’re wearing the wrong bra – we will let you know. If you’ve got VPL up the wazoo - you’ll hear about it. We’ll even mention the piece of lettuce stuck between your teeth! Since transparency is the name of the game, it’s time to reveal what lies underneath. See-through styles of clothing and lingerie are a fun and sexy way to begin. Let’s go sheer, coquettes - because seeing is believing!

Near-nude fabrics became wildly popular for stockings in the 20’s. Forget about the skyrocketing temps – a seductive pair of thigh-highs gets you heated in all the right ways!

Vintage beauties accessorized with translucence as an aphrodisiac. We should try that more often.

Alberto Vargas was famous for his pin-up girl paintings. He often dressed his models in crystal clear garments to expose their near perfect proportions. Try saying that 3 times fast!

Quiz: whose bottom sits so well in these undies? Hint: the opening shot from Lost in Translation!

On the runway, Christian Dior revealed more with exquisitely fine fabrics that were woven into gorgeous gowns.

Josh OlinsAn all-black ensemble looks anything but basic when topped off with a gauzy finish.

Stand in front of the light to maximize radiance.

Mario Sorrenti

Don’t forget to strike a super sexy pose!

For a luxe day in bed - satin sheets, stilettos and a stunningly chic panty make a great combo.

Michel PerezOr head outside for some DIY action. A little water, a white dress et voila - you're in the sheer!

Bonjour petites coquettes, as THE flirt-filled boutique with all things sexy, we have committed ourselves to spreading the love of lingerie. We love love love to stumble upon media pics or celebrities who share our sentiment and flaunt their foundations freely! Let's take a moment to enjoy these bits of inspiration, shall we? Let's celebrate the transformative power of the right (and perfect!) lingerie that we've seen lately.

Mikael Jansson

Holy transformation! Katy Perry goes unrecognizable for the cover of Interview. Bye-bye cupcake-pop-chick, hello chic and sexy! And what about the bedazzled bra featured front and center on a monthly glossy? Lingerie is on trend!

Voila! The bra that hung tough through all the fashion edits to fiercely land the Interview cover. Big shout out to Dolce & Gabbana for the stunning lingerie in their S/S 12 collection!

Benny Horne

Options are limitless in the editorial world. So when a magazine chooses to elevate their models in the finest of fine intimates we swoon. Nothing sits better in soft and dreamy than a silk chemise and lacy beaded number. Divine.

An orange bra featured in an ad campaign selling handbags? Lingerie raises the bar in all arenas!

Jennifer Lopez knows the power of a sexy costume. Recently for American Idol, she hit the stage in a studded bra showing this star performer (and mother of two!) continues to rock the house. We can't wait to see what over-the-top looks she'll wear on her upcoming tour.

Though it's hard for us to imagine Beyoncé being mistreated by a lover, it happened in the video “Best Thing I Never Had." Her retaliation? Sassing it up in a white lace corset and garter. Revenge never looked so hot.

Lady Gaga has sworn off pants. The artist is best known for her bizarre costumes, but we can still count on her for a classic bra and panty set. Lingerie is always appropriate, especially for those who act inappropriate.

Sex sells, that's no secret. But it's the hint of sex that's selling this movie poster for Une Femme est Une Femme. Remember coquettes - it's always about the suggestion in lingerie. Leave room for his imagination to wander!

Kate Winslet opened her suggestion box with a sexy secretary look. This one is simple - white blouse, black pencil skirt and black lace demi cup. Try it at home!
